cricketbat The Messengers is fairly ridiculous. The characters, plot and "twists" all seem familiar because we've seen them before a dozen times. The movie relies solely on sudden noises and movements to scare the audience. Even the ghosts are not much more than blurry, bad CGI. Not really worth watching.

jimanuel12 This is the best ghost movie i think i have ever seen. The special effects were very good if not great. I get really tired of reading reviews of very good movies that are almost always bad. So i thought i would write a review of a very good movie for a chance. If you like ghost movies, this one is the best i have ever seen. I usually do not like ghost movies, i cannot ever be scared of one, but this one has a very different take and the ending explains the entire movie. The cast is excellent, the special effects are very good and the plot is good as well. A little slow at first, but as the movie goes along, the better it gets. This is a movie well worth seeing.

MattyGibbs Films about the supernatural are not my favourite genre of horror as they are usually extremely predictable and bland. This however for me is one of the better efforts of recent years. It's extremely well filmed and the acting was of a good standard especially from the much maligned Kristen Stewart who was excellent in this. Whilst the plot is nothing ground breaking the setting is beautiful and suitably isolated which creates a real air of tension. There are a few jump out of your seat moments but this film doesn't just rely on cheap shocks as it also tries to combine some elements of credible drama about family breakdowns. The editing is crisp so it all moves along at a pleasing pace which means you don't have time to get bored. I enjoyed this film far more than I expected given the rating of 5.3 and think it has an unfairly low rating on here. Don't expect a classic or much gore but just enjoy a well made supernatural horror.

hellornola I vaguely remember watching this movie when it first came out, but decided to give it another go today. Maybe it's because I'm older now or maybe I'm just spoiled on good movies, but quite honestly, I wasn't even able to finish this movie. It was that terrible.To put it bluntly, it was incredibly generic. The acting is hardly believable and seems very dulled down. The plot was nothing original; just your basic, mediocre ghost story that we've all seen a couple hundred times. The only positive points that I can see are the setting and the general atmosphere, due to the setting, not the acting.I wouldn't waste your time on this movie unless you're new to horror or are scared very easily. The well-traveled horror movie fan will be sorely disappointed and bored by this movie.
